India Seeing-is-Believing Biotech Study Tour

The ‘seeing-is-believing‘ biotech study tour aims at exposing African stakeholders to the Indian Bt cotton farming experiences, as well as the country’s biotech crop regulation and commercialization processes. The study tour, held between 13-18 November 2016, will bring together a high-level delegation consisting of parliamentarians, government executives, scientists, cotton sub-sector players and the media from Ethiopia, Kenya, Malawi, Swaziland, and Zambia. The activity is part of the annual series of exchange and outreach programs under the India-Africa Agriculture Engagement, which is generously supported by ISAAA AfriCenter, Alliance for Commodity Trade in Eastern & Southern Africa (ACTESA/COMESA), United States Department of Agriculture (USDA) and the South Asia Biotechnology Centre (SABC).
